USDA Under Secretary for Food Safety Elizabeth Hagen announced she would be leaving USDA mid-December. In a statement, Hagen said, “USDA and FSIS have successfully made preventing foodborne illness a real priority. The steps we have taken, from modernizing the agency, strengthening oversight of industry and increasing outreach to consumers has led to safer food and fewer foodborne illnesses.”
